If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

If Trump won the tariffs case on the grounds that it was a bad decision, then congratulations Eric Holder, you won Shelby County v. Holder! Well done.

Reminder to check the veracity of any images or video of supposed bomb damage you come across in the doomscroll, gang. The fakes are everywhere.

Pretty much. Also, Khamenei limited Iran's missile range to 2,000 km against the recommendation of the IRGC.

According to whistleblowers, ICE agents are being directed to break into homes without warrants in violation of the Constitution.

@repyassansari.bsky.social is right, this is an authoritarian police state. Kristi Noem & agents participating in these violations of the law will be brought to justice.

There was literally an entire novel (two volumes!) written in the 1600s about a guy going crazy from reading too many novels.

So I finally got my Lake Washington Boulevard sidewalk repair FOIAs back. Guess what, former Mayor Harrell's administration designated the sidewalk repairs as "low priority." The repairs were slated to happen last summer. www.seattle.gov/parks/about-...

It’s clear that Trump & his administration have no clear plan for their war with Iran.

They’re telling people to evacuate the region, but providing no assistance. Kash Patel also FIRED a dozen agents/staff who monitor threats from Iran.

The incompetence is incredibly dangerous.

U.S. State Department notice for Americans to leave 13 Middle Eastern countries

The U.S. State Department issued a notice yesterday for Americans to evacuate more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries "via commercial means due to serious safety risks."

The catch?

Air space is closed. There are no flights leaving 10 of the 13 countries.

Based on the context from the White House talking points someone decided the political comms on this are that the US has been at war w/Iran for 47 years in an attempt to tie thisto the hostage taking during the revolution in 1979. The US didn't declare war on Iran in 1979 nor any time since.

Fitch Downgrades Paramount After Warner Bros. Deal Announcement The $81 billion deal for Warner Bros. Discovery is highly complex and poses credit risks, Fitch Ratings said.

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status

Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk

Trans Kansans are Right to Distrust Federal Courts Transgender Kansans are challenging a new discriminatory law in state court, refusing to leave their freedom up to an untrustworthy federal judiciary.

Trans Kansans do have state law on their side

The state supreme court has recognized that Kansas's constitution protects "the right of personal autonomy" including "the ability to control one’s own body," "assert bodily integrity," & "exercise self-determination”

Two Kansans are suing in state court over the new law invalidating trans people's licenses & deputizing bathroom bounty hunters

And they're arguing on state law grounds alone

Kansas's anti-trans law violates federal law too, but federal courts can't be trusted

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

A closeup of Frankie, a cranky look cat. He’s lying on his side on a desk in a sun puddle.  His eyes are angry and his ears are in air plane mode. He was enjoying his belly rubbed, which is unusual for him, and isn’t enjoying the photoshoot, also unusual for him! #CatsOfBlueSky

He can’t believe I would stop rubbing his belly for something as frivolous as a photograph!

A sweet hawaiian hot dog bun with peanut butter and strawberry jelly smeared on each side, then a small layer of potato chips, and then a big ole banana in the middle. It’s like a dessert hot dog. I should have put more PB&J on it though. The ratio wasn’t quite right. But you live and you learn ya know? Also Lauren convinced me to add some caramel after this pic was taken and it was a very good addition.

It feels so hollow to be promoting a new comic alongside all these horrors happening in real time. I know we’re all out here doing the best we canβ€”some of it will help improve things, and some of it won’t move the needle at all.

Still, thank you to everyone who has ever supported small creators.
